✗ IN THE LAND OF MICKEY MOUSE
FANDOM: The Hobbit (Movies)
RATING: General audiences
WORDCOUNT: 271
PAIRING(S): Pre-Barduil
CHARACTER(S): Bard, Thranduil, Legolas
GENRE: Humor, light crack
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: Prime Minister Thranduil Oropherion gets dragged into an adventure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
“Will you come along?”
Legolas, blessed little boy that he is, keeps his mouth closed and looks up to his father before he even considers answering, sending pride and regret in equal parts in Thranduil’s heart—pride because it’s not every five years old who know how important the protocol can be, and sadness because protocol doesn’t leave much room for toddlers to be… well, toddlers.
“We’re going incognito,” Minister Larcher says with a conspiring smile, “Nobody’s going to expect two prime ministers to get there in an old Panda with sandwiches and kids in full Minie Mouse costumes, so I figured…”
Legolas’ hand curls around Thranduil’s pants, a light pinch at the back of his right knee, and Thranduil finds himself sighing before he points out:
“You came here ready for this—it’s hard to go incognito with a toddler in a smoking suit.”
Bard—at this point, last names are a bit superfluous—grins, wide and excited, and Thranduil somehow ends up sneaking out of the Palais de l’Elysée dressed in ratty jeans and an ‘I am Groot’ shirt, Legolas in pink shorts and a flowery tank top trailing after him as they cross the rainy street to the nearest metro station.
A the end of the day, after three turns of the Peter Pan attraction and five lost Mickey Mouse balloons, Thranduil and Bard end up sitting in the grass at the foot of Sleeping Beauty’s castle, admiring fireworks while their kids snore the evening away—and if at some point there’s a slightly inappropriate brush of fingers, eh.
What happens in Disneyland Paris, stays in Disneyland Paris.

✗ STUFFED JUNGLE
FANDOM: Big Hero 6
RATING: General audiences
WORDCOUNT: 302
PAIRING(S): Honey Lemon/Wasabi No-Ginger
CHARACTER(S): Honey Lemon, Wasabi No-Ginger
GENRE: Domestic fluff
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: Honey buys a toy for her future babies.
----------------------------------------------------
“Aw come on, it looks cute!”
Wasabi gives a reluctant ‘arumph’, which Honey knows is his way of agreeing through the embarrassment—he’s an adorable man, but sometimes the idea that he should be more macho than he is worms its way back into his head and he gets like that: flustered at the idea of carrying a giant stuffed plant with a huge grin and large eyes full of wonder.
He doesn’t refuse to carry it though, which is good because Honey might be adamant about doing what she can herself, having three babies pressing on your insides is not exactly the best condition to take on a giant plush toy.
“Just tell me it’s a one-for-three kind of deal,” Wasabi mumbles through the fabric while Honey steers him back to the car, “I don’t think we’ve got room for two others like this, and I’m not sure it’d be very safe for the babies either.”
“It’s just the one plant,” Honey promises, right before she goes to kiss her partner’s cheek, “I’m not going for a stuffed jungle, I promise…though if you want a stuffed cat….”
“Let’s see how it goes with the kids first,” Wasabi cuts off with a slight edge of panic, “Then we’ll talk about pets—even though I keep saying we should have done this the other way around.”
“Don’t listen to a word Daddy says,” Honey warns her enormous belly, “He loves you and I very much—he’s just a bit silly sometimes.”
She barely has time to hear him mumble something along the lines of ‘I’ll show you silly’ before the stuffed plant is on the ground and she’s being kissed until she can hardly breathe—she doesn’t even have the heart to complain about washing the toy so soon after buying it.

✗ HUG NEEDED
FANDOM: Big Hero 6
RATING: General audiences
WORDCOUNT: 110
PAIRING(S): Honey Lemon/Wasabi No-Ginger
CHARACTER(S): Honey Lemon, Wasabi No-Ginger
GENRE: Fluff, comfort
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: ...Hug received.
---------------------------------------------------------
“Take me in your arms?”
Wasabi does as he’s asked, gathering Honey to his chest for a tight hug and peppering kisses on her forehead.
“They’re the stupid ones,” he says with conviction, “bunch of mysoginistic morons–you just wait until you get a Nobel, they’ll be begging to work with you by then.”
“No they won’t,” she sniffs, and Wasabi knows she’s probably right, but at least there’s a smile in her voice, and that’s the most important part right now.
They stay huddled together for a long time, relishing each other’s presence, and when morning comes Wasabi bakes waffles–it won’t solve everything, but at least they’re tasty.

✗ ULTIMATE WARRIOR
FANDOM: The Shadowhunter’s Chronicles
RATING: Teen & Up
WORDCOUNT: 198
PAIRING(S): Clizzy
CHARACTER(S): Clary Fray, Isabelle Lightwood
GENRE: Fluff
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: Isabelle's been trained from childhood,but there are still ways in which she's no match for Clary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Come on, cut me some slack here,” Izzy pants when Clary pouts at her.
“You’re a warrior,” Clary states in a solemn voice, “Trained since infancy, capable of the most heroic feats of bravery, willing to sacrif—aaah—” Clary laughs as she flops backward on the bed, Isabelle tickling her sides—“sacrifice every—EVERYTHING! FOR THE GOOD OF YOUR COUN—”
Clary’s sentence ends on muffled laughter and breathless bliss, Izzy pinning her under her weight and messing both of their golden dresses in her enthusiasm as she kisses the words from Clary’s lips.
“I may be ready to sacrifice everything for the good of my country,” Izzy laughs after a long while, “But I’m not dying on my wedding night—not even in that pleasant a way!”
“First of all, it’s our second, wedding night,” Clary points out, awed herself that she and Izzy manage to resist over fifteen years of acquaintance, a sloppy first marriage and a painful divorce before getting back together, “At this point we both know you’ll survive… and secondly, your orgasm game is weak.”
“Six of them, Clary!” Izzy points out in a happy—if slightly disbelieving—yell, “No one can resist that!”

✗ STILL
FANDOM: Hunger Games
RATING: General audiences
WORDCOUNT: 159
PAIRING(S): Finnick/Haymitch
CHARACTER(S): Finnick Odair, Haymitch Abernathy
GENRE: [Pause]
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: Finnick and Maize experience a moment of complete stillness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They’d arrived a lot earlier than planned, but Finnick didn’t care—at least this way she and Maize would have time to explore their surroundings before Annie and Johanna joined them. The air around them smelled cold and dry despite the lake at their feet, and Finn felt like she’d stumbled into a part of Panem the Capitol had never touched.
She let Maize pull her toward the water—freezing despite the summer sun, and dark enough for Finn to catch her face reflected in it—and took a breath so deep it left her lungs aching. Beside her, Maize had closed her eyes, as if to listen to the silence—no human voice, no pet, no rattling fence…as if the two of them were alone in the world and Panem itself had stopped existing.
Finnick stepped closer to Maize—careful to telegraph the movement just in case—kissed her cheek, and enjoyed the unexpected feeling of being okay.

✗ EXTREME MAKEOVER: WOMB EDITION
FANDOM: Big Hero 6
RATING: General audiences
WORDCOUNT: 195
PAIRING(S): Honey Lemon/Wasabi No-Ginger
CHARACTER(S): Honey Lemon, Wasabi No-Ginger
GENRE: Fluff, comfort
TRIGGER WARNING(S): -
SUMMARY: There's a baby to prepare for. Wasabi might be a tad nervous about it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You don’t have to worry too much,” Honey insists, but Wasabi shakes his head:
“I’d like to see you deal with that,” he replies with slightly more panic than entirely warranted, “You don’t know what it’s like!”
“Darling, when you have a parasite playing Extreme Makeover: Womb Edition with your innards, you can talk about not knowing what it’s like,” Honey sighs, more fond than annoyed, “Until then, you need to stop fussing. We’ll be fine.”
“I know,” Wasabi says—it’s a struggle, Honey can tell, and his fingers don’t relax completely until she takes the pajamas out of his hand— “I just want to make sure they’re as safe as possible!”
“I know,” Honey replies, a little more strained than the first ten time they had this conversation, “And you’re doing a wonderful job of baby-proofing the house but I still think padding the onesies is a bit much.”
Wasabi sends her a pleading, worried look, and Honey takes his hands in hers with a soothing smile—she still makes a note to borrow Baymax from Tadashi as soon as possible though. She’s going to need him for at least the next ten years.
